The following is her quick and easy solution to adding turmeric to your diet. Turmeric has a million benefits! It cleanses your liver and helps it do its job more easily.

Studies show turmeric can even help with depression. Basically, turmeric is one of those crazy miracle herbs that people get obsessed with, so don't get too caught up in the hype. Instead figure out if it makes sense to fit it into your diet and observe how it makes you feel. Tracy's recipe is a great way to start a sexy a love affair turmeric. Enjoy!

Golden Mylk

The following are guidelines, not a set in stone formula. You can experiment with different amounts and different spices according to your constitution (or Prakriti). I usually don’t measure either, so please see the following for what it is: a launching pad for you to explore the many ways in which to enjoy Golden Mylk and to reap the rewards of turmeric. There are 3 steps to this version…but once you get it, it’s super easy!

Add ½ to a full avocado or frozen banana to thicken and make creamyAdd more pepper (increases heat)Add ginger (supports digestion)Add cardamom (balances doshas)

You can blend on high speed for an extended time to heat up the mylk if you prefer it warm.

Once you’ve got the basics down, have fun coming up with your own version of Golden Mylk. Try not to think about it too much…your body knows what it needs and will guide you to the perfect formula for you!
